Dockery signed a contract with 18 million guaranteed worth a total of 49 million. That is insane.

25 million seems pretty reasonable this year.

Randy Thomas got a $7M SB a few years back, so giving Dock an $8M SB today would seem about right (particularly when you consider that Dock is nowhere near as good). Champ Bailey got $18M in bonus money a few years back, so Clements getting about $14M this year would seem right (particularly when you consider that he's nowhere near as good). Instead, these players got about DOUBLE what they should have gotten. But, the salary cap hasn't increased twofold in the past 2 years. So, this s---t is just crazy.
